Bug report

Bug summary
Copy Canvas tool seems to have been implemented in v3.0 as in #10446 but is not enabled in Matplotlib 3.0.2 by default. Copy/paste functionality can be restored using plt.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'toolmanager' but creates warnings as in #7404

Code for reproduction

# Paste your code here
# plt.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'toolmanager'  #restores copy to clipboard functionality by replacing toolbar2 with toolmanager
x = np.linsapce(1,10); y = np.linspace(1,10)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y)
plt.show()

Actual outcome
Default behavior (no copy/paste functionality, toolbar2)

Setting toolbar to toolmanager (copy/paste functionality, toolmanager). Console warning output shown below when activated

Expected outcome
Pressing ctrl+c or cmd+c should copy figure to clipboard as in #10446 and rcParams documentation by default. It seems that it must be explicitly turned on at the moment
